Its Godzilla for the brain dead. Contains spoilers.

Rating: 1/10 (22 August 2013)

When I first heard of this, saw who was directing and read the synopsis I was expecting something special. Maybe not a treatise on the human condition or anything, but I had expected better than a crappy mash-up of Godzilla having a boxing match with a rusty Transformer, via Top Gun, Casshern and The Nutty Professor. Seriously, why the hell where those two 'scientists' even in the film? They added nothing but a mildly annoying distraction to what could have been a much, much better film.And what was the bit about how our would be invaders trying millions of years previously with dinosaurs supposed to be? The function of the Kaiju was to rid earth of human life, but in the time of dinosaurs the only life on the planet was bloody dinosaurs, so they sent them to kill themselves. It made no sense. I can only assume it was there to show us that it was never ending, like in Predator 2.
What should have been an epic and heroic tale of man-kinds last stand against an enemy bent on destroying us, turned into just another lantern-jawed-hero-saves-the-day pile of crap.
Not camp enough to be funny, too funny to be taken seriously, but taking itself to seriously to be fun, this fails on so many levels. It's either an hour too long or an hour too short, but in its present form its nothing more than eye candy with absolutely no substance. A huge disappointment.
